Bar Harbor, Maine - Norm Dickinson

I have been a hobby writer for over 30 years, but have only recently begun to explore publishing opportunities for my work. Until now, I've always been content to write advertising copy for my computer business (established 1992), or create website pages with SEO optimization, long before SEO was a buzzword. I am currently working for myself doing computer repair work in Central Maine. I have also had some experience in editing, proofreading, layout, and other similar work in a commercial print environment. I'm completing my second AS degree from the local community college, which will give me one in Computer Science and another in Industrial Electrical and Electronics.
